A drug-fueled trip through the gruesome levels of Hell may sound
like a fictional horror story to some, and since the traveler in
question was movie distributor Stephen Biro, it could just as
easily have been one of his film projects. But Stephen's
experiences were the real, life-changing sort. They're also proof
that the Lord does work in mysterious ways -- extending all the way
to squares of LSD and nitrous oxide cartridges.
Armed with psychedelics, hallucinogenics and a brave desire to
meet God no matter the personal cost, Stephen pushed beyond the
boundaries of safe drug use. He took the most nightmarish of trips
from a cramped one-bedroom apartment that he used for running his
underground video business. With initial difficulty finding God in
his altered state, Stephen instead encountered depravity and
grotesquery enough to make his soul weep, but he pushed on. And if
that wasn't bad enough, his Hellish experiences bled over into his
waking days, and his friends and acquaintances began identifying
themselves to him as Antichrists, deities and other assorted beings
from "the other side." Reality was blurring and shifting, and
Stephen was run utterly ragged. Could he fulfill his quest to learn
universal truths before his extreme drug use took its toll?
Hellucination: A Memoir spares no disturbing detail of the unusual
route that one man took to find Christ and the God of the Bible.
The memoir also follows younger Stephen through his 1970s childhood
and his bizarre early encounters with religion that drove him to
Atheism.
""An utterly surreal memoir. I'd say it was 'mindbending, ' but"
"HELLUCINATION" "doesn't just bend your mind, it twists it,
stretches it, stabs it, and tosses it on the grill "" - Jeff
Strand, author of the upcoming book, "PRESSURE" and "WOLF HUNT"
He's been nominated for the Bram Stoker Award in 2006, 2008, and
2010.
"HELLUCINATION" takes the form of a page-turning memoir, combining
personal trip reporting with science fiction, horror movie, and
religious mythologies, philosophical speculation on the nature of
the author's experiments with psychedelic drug combinations,
strange encounters with other people who may not be what they seem,
and the rationale behind his spiritual conversion from atheism to
Christianity." " --David Jay Brown
Author of "Mavericks of the Mind" and "Conversations on the Edge
of the Apocalypse"
"HELLUCINATION" is a powerful read. In fact, it might distinctly
appeal to fantasy readers, film lovers and lovers of fiction. Biro
writes passionately with a purpose... you may end of ripping your
eyes out afterwards though." " -- Review, Horrornews.net
"Mind-boggling and enthralling. The visualization techniques used
is astounding." - Paul White - "Producer of Bride of Re-Animator
and Brian Yuzna's Society"
"I felt myself questioning my faith, or lack of faith, on
religion, Jesus, God, the Devil, and what the purpose and point of
my life and existence really was/is. I think that is the point of
the book. The book raises awareness and makes readers think about
the meaning of life and what their purpose is in it. That, in
itself, is a pretty scary thing to think and ponder about. -

"Cinematic... it's going to scare the Hell out of some
Christians." - Jim VanBebber - "Director of The Manson Family and
Deadbeat At Dawn"
